Chapter Twenty-Two: Silence
The warehouse Kisame had parked outside had faded-to-grey paint peeling and chipping all over. The sign which had probably once stood proudly atop the warehouse's bulky frame was washed of it's colour, broken and falling off. The gates were rusted, and the small patches of grass were tall and weed-covered.
Kisame knocked roughly on a door that looked like it was about to fall off it's hinges. A grunt from inside told them to enter.
Naruto's breath hitched. This entire situation was so dream like, like none of this was real and it was all a bad dream. He would probably wake up any minute now and it would be that night before the theme park. When Sasuke had told him that tomorrow was the day.
Yet, there he was.
In the flesh, as pale and cold as ever. An exterior so icy, which only Naruto had seen beneath.
Naruto wanted to yell out at him, but remained silent. He was tied up with a heavy gun pushed into his back.
Sasuke too, stood over a man tied with a gun pressed to his head. The sight scared Naruto. That Sasuke had the authority to hold such a deadly weapon to a man's head. To his life.
Naruto looked at this other man.
He guessed him to be taller than himself and Sasuke, although he was sitting down, which made it hard to judge. His hair was jet black, like Sasuke's own, and pulled back into a loose but tidy pony-tail. His suit was crinkled, as if he had been sitting there for a while. His face was blank, and he had heavy lines falling from his eyes, making him look tired. He and Sasuke shared the same eyes, dark and cold. Naruto pondered if this man had hidden emotions underneath the hard exterior.
Sasuke clicked the gun and held it harder against Itachi's head.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" he said, shaking his head, but not breaking eye contact with the blonde boy.
"I found out Orochimaru was lying to you. I figured I might find you if I talked to this moron," he said, temper flaring at the rude greeting. The insult earned him a brute shove to the ground.
"I'll kill him if you don't let Itachi go, Sasuke," Kisame said, coldly.
Sasuke ignored him and continued talking to Naruto.
"Don't you think I knew that, dobe?!" he was almost shouting.
"You don't have to do everything by yourself!!" Naruto yelled at him.
"I couldn't drag you into this, Naruto!" he yelled back, losing his calm aura.
"Why the hell not Sasuke?! Are you to high and mighty for my help?!"
"Because, dobe," he retorted.
"Because what?! Sasuke? WHAT?!"
"Don't ask questions! Naruto!"
"NO! Sasuke! You ANSWER my questions!!"
"Shut up! Naruto!"
"Tell me WHY, SASUKE!!"
"I goddamn LOVE YOU! That's why!"
Sasuke's voice echoed around the large, hall. Naruto's face was covered with shock, as if he had just received a slap to the face. Sasuke's was pulled into a different kind of shock, as if his hand had just delivered that blow without his mind telling it to.
After the echo had faded out and the two boys stood in silence, Kisame finally spoke up.
"Can we please get this done, already? Itachi and I are scheduled for an important social event," he smiled.
"Indeed," Itachi added. The first time he had spoke.
Both Kisame and Sasuke pointed their revolvers at one another and stepped in a large circle until they had revolved around to the others' hostage.
Kisame didn't take more than a few seconds to untie Itachi. The man stood up, brushed down his suit and both men turned towards the back door.
Kisame opened it and offered it to Itachi. He took a step and stopped, turning around. Sasuke was standing behind Naruto, glaring defensively, scowling, a faint blush tainting his cheeks none the less. Itachi didn't miss a thing.
"Next time, baby brother."
Sasuke growled as the man walked out of the door, Kisame in tow.
The door shut loudly, echoing.
Naruto stared at a spot on the floor, kneeling. He was still tied up. Sasuke walked around the front of him and took his shoulders, bending down.
"Naruto..." he whispered. Naruto looked into his eyes. They were wet with tears. Since when did the great Sasuke Uchiha ever cry?
"Naruto... thank God you're okay," he embraced him and held him, as if his life depended on it. Naruto felt his eyes tear up as well. He didn't know how he would have lived without this. Not after he had it once.
"Sasuke..." the boy let go, and looked up. Naruto leant forward to kiss him, and he responded fervently. Pushing his tongue hard against the other's, swirling it around and never wanting to feel anything else. This is how it should be, and nothing else ever mattered. How could Sasuke not have seen or felt this before?
Naruto panted into the other boy's mouth. "... Sasuke... " he whispered.
"... yeah.."
"... can you untie me now?"
Sasuke smiled and kissed him again, pushing him onto the floor and hovering over him.
"I kind of like you like this..." he said, nuzzling into Naruto's neck.
"Ah! Sasuke!" Naruto half moaned, half whined.
"Okay, okay..." he sat up and untied his lover, who responded by recapturing his lips.
Sasuke smiled at him through the kiss. "Can you forgive me?"
Naruto answered the question by pushing his tongue into his mouth, Sasuke groaned.
"I already did."
